readx;? After the defense line was broken through, Zhu Shaoliang, commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army, realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately ordered the 18th, 26th, and 67th divisions to strictly guard the temple and the field. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At this time, the rest of the ** troops retreated to the positions built on the line from Shanghai North Railway Station to Jiangwan. In this way, the temple line and the big field have become the salient parts of the entire defense line. The three divisions of ** fought hard and temporarily stopped the Japanese attack.

If you don't take Dachang and Miaoxing, you will not be able to continue the offensive in Shanghai, and Dachang and Miaoxing have become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Japanese army. The commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, King Hatohiko of the Xianggong Palace, issued an order for the Japanese army to concentrate its forces and take the important places of Dachang and Miaohang as soon as possible. As a result, the 9th, 13th, and 101st Divisions of the Japanese Army attacked Dachang and Miaohang simultaneously from the front, and the 11th and 16th Divisions attacked Dachang and Miaohang at the same time.

The Japanese army mobilized hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers, and hundreds of planes bombed the Dachang and Miaohang areas indiscriminately, and the ground within a radius of several miles from Dachang and Miaohang was blown into a scorched earth. After the bombing, the Japanese army dispatched dozens of combat vehicles to compete with the defenders for positions such as Hujia Bridge, Tahe Bridge, and Zoumatang. The three divisions of ** could not withstand the attack of the Japanese army, and could only retreat step by step.

After two days of fierce fighting, the three divisions of ** were basically exhausted, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu Shaoliang could only order to abandon the main field. In the defense of the battle for a few days, the soldiers fought bloodily, in the face of the Japanese tanks, there were no effective weapons, the soldiers took cluster grenades or tied explosives and grenades to their bodies and the Japanese army desperately. When the defense line of Dachang was broken through by the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Zhu Yaohua, the commander of the 18th Division, was deeply responsible for the loss of the battlefield that had been held for many days, mixed with grief and indignation, and was ashamed of the world, so he took out a pistol and committed suicide to thank the countrymen and martyr the country.

After the loss of the first-line positions of Dachang and Miaohang, ** could only rely on the fortifications from the North Station to the Jiangwan line and the Japanese army's field battle, there was basically no danger in the fortifications of this line, which was more conducive to the Japanese attack, but fortunately, the general headquarters of the Central Route Army took out all the artillery and shells of the original new 90th Division to assist the defenders to temporarily stop the pace of the Japanese attack.

Although he knew that the Fuzaobin defense line was broken through by the Japanese army, Wang Haitao could not do anything about it. The 5th and 18th Divisions of the Japanese Army are all in the city, and what they should consider is how to hold Songjiang County. Wang Haitao knows that in history, when the first retreated to the south bank of Suzhou Creek, although Zhabei and other areas had fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, but the downtown area of Shanghai was still in the hands of the first army, if there was no landing of the Tenth Army in Jinshanwei, then how long it would take for the Japanese army to capture Shanghai is not known.

Now it is the end of November, if you can stop the Japanese army in Songjiang County, then you can still hold out even if you retreat south of Suzhou Creek. Even if they can't hold on and abandon Shanghai, all units can withdraw from Shanghai in an orderly manner, and it will not become a rout as in history. In that rout, more than 100,000 troops were lost, which also laid the groundwork for the defeat of the defense of Nanjing in the future.

Wang Haitao still has some confidence and confidence in holding on to Songjiang County, because the new weapons in his hands are still stronger than the Japanese army. In addition to the large-caliber artillery that can threaten the Japanese army's current attack, there is really no weapon that makes them scrupulous. Most of the guard company and reconnaissance company were dispatched, otherwise they could have taken advantage of the night to attack and try to eliminate the Japanese heavy artillery positions.

Thinking of this Wang Haitao's whim, he had the artifact of the storage ring, why couldn't he sneak into the Japanese army's heavy artillery position at night and confiscate all the Japanese army's heavy artillery? With his own skills, there should be no problem in infiltrating the Japanese army's position. But I don't know what the maximum distance that this storage ring can collect is? With this question, Wang Haitao's divine sense entered the storage ring again.

As soon as I entered. A familiar voice was heard in his ears: "Master, you are here, Silver One is serving the master." Wang Haitao looked at the silver machine and asked, "Silver No. 1, let me ask you, when I collect items, how far can I collect items?" Silver No. 1 replied: "Master, when you collect items, according to your distance unit, items within ten meters of me can be ordered by you to let me collect, but living objects cannot be collected." ”

After listening to Silver No. 1's answer, Wang Haitao checked the storage space again. In addition to a large amount of coins and gold, there is also a large amount of food in the storage space, and the rest is some new weapons damaged on the battlefield, including several armored vehicles, tank cars, and several high-level dual-purpose twin heavy machine guns. There was still two-thirds of the space left, enough for the large-caliber artillery of the Japanese army.

First of all, Wang Haitao found Wei Changxing, the commander of the reconnaissance company who stayed in Songjiang County, and asked him to send several teams to reconnoiter the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army, to find out the number of heavy artillery of the Japanese army, the place where the ammunition is stored, the situation of the sentry posts at night, the routes in and out, etc., Wei Changxing received the order, although he did not understand what the division wanted to do, but he knew that the division had an action against the Japanese heavy artillery position.

The next day, the Japanese attack was still the same, first the artillery bombardment, after the bombardment of the infantry began to attack, after repulsing an attack, another artillery bombardment, and then another infantry attack. The artillery bombardment again and again made the fortifications on the position more and more seriously damaged, and the defending soldiers used all available terrain to block the attacking Japanese troops on the scorched earth position again and again.

In three days, the 5th Division of the Japanese Army in Miishidu advanced 200 meters, while the 23rd Brigade of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army in the east advanced 1,000 meters. The 324th Brigade of the 108th Division tried its best to block the Japanese army outside the east gate of Songjiang County, and the two regiments of the 324th Brigade were almost defeated, and the commander of the 648th Regiment under Songjiang City also died under the Japanese artillery.

The 108th Division fulfilled its promise to the new 90th Division with blood and lives, division commander Li Wenqing personally supervised the battle on the wall of the east gate of Songjiang, and the remaining officers and men of the 324th Brigade all engaged in fierce battles with the attacking Japanese troops on the position. Although it was only used twice, most of the artillery in the division was destroyed by the artillery fire of the Japanese counterattack, but the second artillery bombardment of the attacking Japanese army made the Japanese army have scruples, and the position was able to hold.

In three days, the reconnaissance group of the reconnaissance company found out all the situation of the Japanese heavy artillery position, and Wei Changxing reported to Wang Haitao. Wang Haitao knew it was time to act. After dinner on the third day, Wang Haitao took the city's guard company and reconnaissance company out of Songjiang City at the same time. Led by the soldiers of the reconnaissance company, they ran all the way to the Huangpu River.

They bypassed the battle-going Mishidu and quietly crossed the Huangpu River near the port of victory. At about 12 o'clock in the evening, Wang Haitao and his men approached the heavy artillery position of the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Independent Heavy Artillery, and the Japanese army's defense in wartime naturally would not be relaxed, and there were Japanese light and dark sentinels and mobile sentinels 500 meters away from the heavy artillery positions. However, these circumstances have long been clearly understood by the reconnaissance company.

After touching the Japanese army's Ming Zhe post and eliminating the mobile post, the Japanese army's heavy artillery position opened the gate in front of Wang Haitao. Wang Haitao left most of the soldiers here to respond, and he took two reconnaissance groups and a guard group to the Japanese position. Before leaving, Wang Haitao told the soldiers that he was coming this time to bring back all the Japanese artillery, and these old people knew Wang Haitao's ability, and no one would not believe in the division.

After entering the position, the shadow of the cannon could be vaguely seen in the dark night, and Wang Haitao was not polite, and after killing all the Japanese soldiers on duty on the position, he used his divine sense to issue an order to collect the storage ring. In this way, the artillery disappeared into the position out of thin air, and at the same time, the light and heavy machine guns on duty on the position also disappeared.

After the artillery was collected, Wang Haitao asked Wei Changxing to take it to the Japanese army's munitions warehouse, and after killing the Japanese soldiers on duty again, Wang Haitao also put all the things in the Japanese munitions warehouse into the storage ring, and the whole process took less than an hour. When Wang Haitao withdrew from the Japanese position with the soldiers, the Japanese army finally discovered the abnormality on the position, and the sound of sirens, shouts, and gunfire broke the silence of the night.

Wang Haitao led the soldiers to return to Songjiang County smoothly, not to mention, just talking about the Japanese army's independent heavy artillery Sixth Brigade, when the brigade commander Major General Mishima Ichiro woke up from his dream with the voice outside the tent, he didn't understand what was happening on the position for a while, just when Mishima Ichiro was about to go out to inspect, a captain under his command rushed in in a panic.

The captain shouted to Mishima Ichiro: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, it's not a problem, the artillery and artillery are gone!" Mishima Ichiro was stunned for a moment and scolded: "Yaga! What nonsense are you talking about? How can the artillery disappear? Are you mistaken?" The group leader said: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, it's not that a single piece of artillery is missing, but all the artillery pieces are gone, and the munitions warehouse is empty. ”

Ichiro Mishima stood up in fright when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed out of the tent. When Mishima Ichiro came to the position where the artillery was placed, he couldn't help but stand there, stunned, the place where the artillery was originally placed on the position is now empty, and dozens of large-caliber guns have all disappeared without a trace.

Each of these dozens of artillery pieces weighed several tons, and the 240 howitzer weighed 30 tons, so what kind of force could have transferred all these guns in a short period of time without making much movement? Thinking of this, Ichiro Mishima felt a chill from the back of his heart, and the Japanese officers and men around him were also talking about it. At this time, Ichiro Mishima could no longer care about the discussion of the officers and soldiers, and he wanted to report this serious and strange matter to the higher authorities as soon as possible.
